The Benton Harbor Tigers (Michigan) continue to shine in the national spotlight.  Sunday, ESPN will feature the team in  a SportsCenter SC Featured segment during the 10 A.M. Eastern show.

Last season, Benton Harbor picked-up quite a bit of national publicity because 74-year old Elliot Uzelac, a former college and professional coach, came-out of retirement to become the team’s head coach.  Uzelac led the school to its first-ever appearance in the Michigan high school football playoffs, plus its first winning season since 1989.

Earlier this week, Uzelac and the team returned from a trip to Disney World in Florida that was given to them at the end of last season by ABC’s Good Morning America.
